When maintaining API specification files (like OpenAPI or Swagger), ensure consistency and avoid duplication that can confuse documentation generators and API consumers:
Eliminate duplicate service definitions - Remove or merge tags that represent the same service with different names (e.g., “projects” and “project”).
Standardize naming conventions - Use consistent casing and plural/singular forms for similar entities across all documentation.
Maintain consistent style - Ensure all descriptions:
Example:
// BAD: Duplicate tags with inconsistent descriptions
"tags": [
{
"name": "projects",
"description": "The Project service allows you to manage all the projects in your Appwrite server."
},
{
"name": "project",
"description": "The Project service allows you to manage all the projects in your Appwrite server."
}
]
// GOOD: Single, well-defined tag
"tags": [
{
"name": "projects",
"description": "The Projects service allows you to manage all the projects in your Appwrite server."
}
]
This consistency helps maintain clear documentation and prevents confusion in generated code or documentation.
